Trump's letter should have Republicans everywhere re-thinking their loyalty to him.

...the word "sharpie" winn ever be properly used in regard to Dolt45, unless you were to say that he's as sharp as a bag of hammers. Yikes.

Then there's the incoherent babbling of the "thing" that sits in our White House.


There is just no comparison. Zero. Zip. Nada.

I am so very proud of Nancy Pelosi and all of us here who voted in the Blue Wave of Women in 2018. This would not be happening if not for us doing our civic duty to vote.

At times like this, I am quite happy to be a Democrat. I hope some Republicans read this and notice that their president looks so childish with his tweets and talk of witch-hunts compared to the professionalism of the Speaker's communications!

they would have told the truth about this clown three years ago. Oh, wait, they did! Graham said "If Trump is elected, it will be the death of the republican party, and we will deserve it" Amazing what money (and blackmail) does to republicans, isn't it?

.. a useless exercise that no one ever intends to honor.

Don't make every enlistee in our military branches take an oath that they will feel it is ONLY meant to be ignored.

Fifty some years ago I took the oath and have always felt that my obligation was one I took for life.
As did my father before me and his father before him we all took the oath.

It is sad to think that it now has no meaning and no value. Especially to the GOP members of Congress, POTUS and his cabal.

And apparently members of the Senate will need to take an additional oath as a presiding jury member in the Impeachment trial.
Many of them starting with MoscowMitch have announced that they have NO intention of honoring either oath.

This behavior appears to be the Twenty-First century's version of "Sieg Heil".
